The life she wanted wasn't hers....

The compelling new psychological thriller that will break your heart into tiny pieces, from world-renowned author Michael Robotham.

Everyone has an idea of what their perfect life is. For Agatha, it's Meghan Shaughnessy's. These two women from vastly different backgrounds have one thing in common - a dangerous secret that could destroy everything they hold dear. Both will risk everything to hide the truth, but their worlds are about to collide in a shocking act that cannot be undone.

The Secrets She Keeps is a compelling psychological thriller that delves deeply into the psyche of the human mind, by internationally best-selling author Michael Robotham.

Kritikerstimmen

Praise for Michael Robotham's writing:
"Will have you turning the pages compulsively." (
The Times)
"Robotham doesn't just make me scared for his characters, he makes my heart ache for them." (Linwood Barclay)
"Superbly exciting...a terrific read." (
Guardian)
"
Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end. Robotham is an absolute master." (Stephen King)

Captivating

I had listened to most of Michael Robotham's detective novels in the past and liked them well enough - but this is something else! More reminiscent of Ruth Rendell's masterpieces, this suspense thriller takes us deep into the minds of two women whose lives intersect, with heartbreaking consequences.

Meh

It had its moments, but the most interesting plot points were kind of rushed over. The psychology of the main characters, and the reasoning behind their actions were hinted at and then never followed up. The characters themselves weren’t very consistent with their personalities, crazy one moment, rational the next; or understanding and then ignorant. The narration took some getting used to because of the odd British accent, but I did really like the way she impersonated the different characters and brought them to life. I wouldn’t really recommend this book overall.

entertaining and exciting

when I started listening to the book it automatically reminded me of "girl on the train". two perspectives, many secrets.it's well written and told, just at some points the logic is missing. weird and mysterious things happen but the characters don't even bother to investigate or feel being lied to.

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside - the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.
